Is this the 'cure' for global warming? Scientists flick the switch on Scottish trial that would 'bury' CO2 underground ...
Today, Ardmucknish Bay at Benderloch is testing a potentially planet-saving technology - a method to 'capture' carbon dioxide, then bury it harmlessly without altering our planet's atmosphere.

Can this help us solve global warming? First carbon capture experiment to take place under Scottish seabed next week
From Monday, scientists will pump carbon dioxide into the sediment below Ardmucknish Bay at Benderloch., hoping to slow down climate change by capturing carbon dioxide.

Global cooling? Lake sediment proves solar activity cooled earth 2,800 years ago - and same could be due to happen again
Scientists at the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences analysed lake sediment in Lake Meerfelder Maar, and found direct evidence of a sudden cooling caused by a 'solar minimum'.

Q&A: carbon capture and storage
How does it work, which countries are leading technological developments, and what is the future for CCS? What is carbon capture and storage? The technology is designed to prevent the carbon dioxide exhaust from the burning of coal and gas from entering the atmosphere and driving further climate change. It does this by either stripping the CO2 from the smokestacks of conventional power stations ...

World's Largest 'Fossil Forest' Found In US
Scientists have found a 300-million-year-old subterranean 'fossil forest' in the US, thought to be more than 50 times bigger than anything of its kind previously discovered.
